I think, the reaction time of the synthetics is faster than the older insulins.

I'm on Lantus and Novolog/NovoRapid.

Target for bedtime is between 90/5 and 110/6.1. But I always have something to eat about an hoour before going to bed. Quite often it is enough that I have to inject Novolog. 15-45 carbs.

It took a while to get the right basal amount when I switched to Lantus, but once I did, I haven't varied by more than 8-15(.4- .8) when I do my basal checks.

Keep in mind that the Novolog lasts for about 4 hours, so if you're running a bit low at 2 hrs postprandial, then you'll probably be lower later.

Right now, and for the last 2 1/2 years, I love MDI with Lantus and Novolog and don't plan on changing anytime in the near/far future.
